•|Their Joy|•

23.

During dinner, Leo told us that we are going back tomorrow morning at 5.

'That's still night.' was my answer to which he didn't pay any attention.

According to my knowledge, it's night till it's dark.

Sexy brain.

So, here I am laying down on my bed, trying to find a way to ask Leo for any sort of gadgets.

I feel so tired and unproductive right now. I checked the time on the wall clock 5 minutes ago and currently, it must be 8:35.

Since I'm feeling unproductive I should sleep.

I rolled over my covers on my stomach and switched of the side lamps.

Few minutes into my Dreamland that the door started banging furiously.

No one would let me be productive today.

With a sigh, I stood up and opened the door. It wasn't even locked.

"You're fine. Oh, thank God. Leo, she is fine." Antonio yelled after getting a glimpse of me.

"What's going on?" I yawned.

"Come on Alle, pack your things we are going back, now." With that being said he pushed me aside and started putting my clothes in my duffle bag.

Which I don't know how he got,

Still frozen by the door, I asked the anxious Antonio, "What's happening Antonio? Weren't we suppose to be going in the morning?" I settled beside the duffle bag on the bed.

He kneeled beside me, "Alle, the threats have started to get physical now. Few of our guards were found..." He hesitated.

"Found...?"

"Dead!"

We all were jumbled up inside the big SUV, waiting for Leo to complete his phone call.

Alexander and Alessandro both were whispering something to each other and I could only grasp a few things coming out of their mouths.

They were talking about WWE wrestlers. The thing which I can't seem to understand is why are they whispering about that.

Ignoring them I looked at the back where Matteo, Marco, and Rocco were talking.

"I can bet, Leo never had a girlfriend," Matteo said confidently, dusting off his shoulder.

"Nah, I can't believe that. He must have had a fling at least, What about Antonio?" Rocco asked.

"No, he never had a fling or girlfriends. And Antonio too-" Matteo stopped talking once his eyes landed on me.

"You are eavesdropping in our conversation, Alle!" Matteo said while faking anger.

"You guys weren't quiet about it as Alex and Alessandro were about their WWE wrestlers." I grinned.

At the mention of their name, Alex and Alessandro looked at me with raised brows. "You were eavesdropping in our conversation?"

"You guys also weren't discreet about it because I'm sitting right beside you," I said as a matter of fact.

Leo slipped in the passenger seat while ordering someone to search harder on the phone.

"Leo and Toni, I wanted to ask something for a while now." I turned around to face them.

After getting a subtle nod from him, I was about to ask him, When Marco shouted my name, "Allegra!"

I looked over my shoulder at him with a raised brow as if asking what.

"You- what do you want to ask them?" He asked horrified.

"What she wants to ask us, is none of your concern," Leo said without taking his eyes off his phone.

I grinned at the sulking boys at the back and whispered, "I'm going to ask them whether they had flings or girlfriends in past or right now?"

"What? Are you crazy? Don't!" Alessandro whispered shouted.

"Exactly, they both will slaughter us alive," Alex said after scooting closer to us.

"Now you both were eavesdropping in our conversation?" I pointed my finger at the 'A' twins.

"Shut up, and don't ask them-" Antonio cut Rocco off.

"What is it that you wanted to ask Alle?" He said after swiftly taking a turn to the right.

I turned back around to look at my two eldest brothers, "So I wanted to ask that..."

Sending a smirk at the boys' scared faces, I asked them, "Why both of you are of the same age?"

Pin drop silence.

I saw Antonio clenching the steering wheel too hard for its liking. Meanwhile, Leo stopped writing the message on his phone.

The boys sitting beside me and at the back all stiffened, but I can see all of their faces adorned with confusion except Matteo.

"Why do you ask?" Antonio asked, soothing his palm into light grip.

"Well, to avoid the original question." I settled back on the plush seats.

"What was the original question, Bambina?" Leo asked after turning around to face me.

"Did you or Antonio have any flings or girlfriends in the past or right now?" The younger boys were too slow to stop me from asking that question.

"It doesn't seem to be your question though," Antonio said after a thought.

"Correct. It wasn't." Just as my answer ended Leo sent a stink eye to the boys. Similarly, Antonio glared at them through the mirror.

"So, did you?" I can tell the younger boys were curious as they bend forward a little.

"Curiosity kills the cat." I said but added quickly when Alessandro sent a glare, "But satisfaction brings it back!"

"I had," Antonio said from the driving seat.

"I didn't," Leo said after a while.

"Nah, I can't believe that. Impossible." I said a little too loud.

"Why can't you believe that?"

"Come on everyone has flings if not GF's or BF's, once in a lifetime."

Seven pairs of eyes turned in my direction but Antonio quickly averted his to save us from going to the hospital.

"What?"

"Did you have?" Marco said, raising a single brow.

"Pssh, come on. I'm not even in my teenage years completely, and you want me to have flings already? Never. Maybe when I'm 17?" I rambled off with an eye roll.

"Good." With that being said everyone went to their conversations.

I'm confused though, what does good mean here?
